How much involvement did George RR Martin have with Elden Ring's lore, mythos and story?
only the dung eater
I completely forgot that he worked on this
>>738979104regardless, I don't think it was necessary
>>738979104I wrote a single page and named all the characters after his initials.
the bones of the story were done my Martin. Miyazaki & Friends then took over and wrote the plot and events. you can just google this information.
>>738979104he specifically requested that every boss have an infinite combo. and miyazaki assured him that it was already being worked on.
>mr george san did you finish drafting your tarnished cyara for the line appu?>yes mitsubishi he's called shit eater he eats shit and rapes corpses and eats their shit too>hmm yes... very succint... a true cyara of kegare path thank you george sensei
>oh boy a Fromsoft game with a co-writer so it's not gonna be the same "the natural cycle is disrupted because God King Guy made a bid for immortality and created a stagnant age with mindless zombies, you are a literal nobody who comes back from the dead to kill or replace God King Guy" they did for the last 6 games!>start playing ER >the natural cycle is disrupted because God King Guy made a bid for immortality and created a stagnant age with mindless zombies, you are a literal nobody who comes back from the dead to kill or replace God King Guy
>>738979104I dunno, the story Is pretty much the same one that every other soul game, specially dark souls 1, it has the same themes, the same structure and almost the same characters
>>738979917I doubt this Is true, why it's so si.ilar to every other dark souls game ifnitbeas Made by a different writer? The only Martín-esque thing in the game Is that all the characters have similar,short anglosaxon names
>>738979104All of the major characters have names that start with G, R, or M. It is kino.
>>738980475To be fair, the drama behind Marika and her family was unique compared to previous From games.
>>738979104All of it. But Fromsoft purposefully fucked it all up and made it a total hellscape. They've said this was the case, and it was probably the right call since I doubt Martin wrote a world where 99.8% of things want to kill the player and that's kinda what a game needs to be good and not be continual Bioware talking heads and shuffling npcs that fucking suck, that people pretend are good because hey I can fuck up any quest by killing the giver.It was a little messed up, though, to not just tell him to write a world where 99.8% of things want to kill the player. They could've just done that instead.
>>738979104According to interviews, he wrote what happened like hundreds of years in the past, and FromSoftware made a game based on that. So all he did was write some background lore.
>>738979104That thumbnail comes from a video where he talks about it, so just watch that.
>uhhh yeah shes like a loli doll and shes super cute and you marry her and stuff. yeah put that in.
>>738980475>The only Martín-esque thing in the game Is that all the characters have similar,short anglosaxon namesand the incest, marika relationship with their consorts, the kids betraying their mom, marika throwing his firstborn to the shadowlands, etcthe game feels similar because the current world of ER was writen by fromsoftware even if the background was from the fat fuck
muh basturd childrens, incest, and bratty animay loli with chuuni MC complex (Ranni, Arya etc), and gay names like Drogo, Drogon, Radagon etc, and they all correspond to the ltters in his name (GRRM, Godfrey, Godrick, Radagon, Rennala, Ranni, Maliketh, Morgitt, Mohg, Malenia etc)
Euron will be killed by Sam. Sam will be taken captive aboard the Silence and use his wits and some old shit he read in the Citadel right before he was captured to replace a key component in Euron’s big ritual. Euron will not notice until the ritual is underway, at which point he will be powerless to stop himself being torn apart Facilier-style by the forces he was trying to control. It is known.
>>738981654>the worst parts of the story came from the heckin anglo, our beloved Jap worte the best parts You fromdrones aren't fooling anyone
>>738981902are you retarded, the best parts is the backstory about the world>marika rising to godhood>the betrayal of the night cities>miko/shamans and their relationship to the numen>everything about the hornsentnone of this is on the game
If George just wrote a book with the Lands Between characters it could've had a more lasting legacy than ASoIaF or Elden Ring, though that assumes he would be able to avoid his tendency towards endless bloat.
